Color Throwdown

Welcome to another Color Throwdown Challenge where yours truly is the hostess this week! This photo inspired me to challenge you to use some springtime colors: pink, light green and kraft. After recently buying this Floral and Flutter Bundle from Concord and 9th, I knew right away I wanted to do an emboss resist technique on my card.

I started by white embossing the florals on Ranger watercolor CS, then I watercolored with Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron distress inks then splattered with a mixture of Antique Linen and Scattered Straw. I'm loving the open floral die that coordinates with this stamp set and adhered only the center with a tiny glue dot so the petals could be slightly curled up! The sentiment is PTI's Wet Paint stamp and die set - cut once in metallic gold and once in kraft CS. The Diagonal Stripe BG stamp is by My Favorite Things and was stamped using a MISTI with Little Piggy ink by WPlus9. It's difficult to get thorough coverage with only one inking on a large background stamp, so the MISTI allows you to do it twice for a crisper image! This card was created for my one DIL who hit the big 30 year birthday milestone last week!

Welcome to my blog...an online journal of my paper crafting hobby. When I'm not in my stamp room, I'm probably working at my full-time job as a rehabilitation RN. I'm so happy to have you visit my blog and I appreciate when you take time to comment!
